Dedicated Petsitter

I love pets especially dogs. I had a medium dog for 15 years. He gave his soul and I gave him mine. Dogs are for me the best friends ever. I have a special connection to dogs. I will brush them every day. If I could I would adopt every single pet but unfortunately it is not possible. When I look in their eyes I can read what they want and it doesn‘t take long they get what they want. I will walk them not only once a day but 2 or 3 times if necessary. I will play and exercise that the learn the basic to listen. Try me and you will see your dog/pet will be in very good hands. They will love me.

Thank you for all the attention you give to our Lillie Mae while at your home. She really enjoys it. We are thankful for your care and attention to Lillie Mae. She is actually sad for a few days when she comes home. We appreciate you both!!

Thank you for always taking good care of our Lillie Mae. She comes home a happy dog. We realize she does not eat or eats very little while with you both and that is ok. She’s just a very sensitive dog. She does this at home too. We appreciate you both!!

This was our dogs longest stay with Walter and Gabbi. Lillie Mae did great with no issues given her age and some of her health issues. We picked her up just in time for some weather changes. She does not do well with storms. Lillie was happy when we picked her up so we know she was well taken care of. Thank you so very much!!

Our Lillie Mae has really adjusted to spending time with Walter, Gabbi and Michael. She ate all her food this time, which is a first. When we picked her up she was happy. She jumped on Gabbi. She only does that with us and a sister of ours. We are so pleased that she has adjusted to her stays there. Thank you so very much!!

We normally take any kind of dog. We want to know their habits, food and medicine preferences if necessary. We need to know if the go along with other dogs.
